Our Favorite Jensen Quotes from NVIDIA’s #GTC23 Keynote

“For nearly four decades, Moore’s Law has been the governing dynamic of the computer industry, which in turn has impacted EVERY industry. The exponential performance increase at constant cost and power has slowed. Yet, computing advance has gone to lightspeed. The warp drive engine is accelerated computing and the energy source is AI.” – Jensen Huang, opening quote from GTC 2023?

On Tuesday, NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a host of accelerated computing breakthroughs that will help transform every industry.? In just over an hour, one of the most innovative and influential leaders of our time introduced groundbreaking AI breakthroughs and the latest trends and developments that are shaping our future.? At RAVE Headquarters, the conference room was quiet as we all listened and took notes.? Afterwards, we discovered we had unknowingly all jotted down several of Jensen’s quotes that also defined highlights of his keynote:???

“ChatGPT is the AI heard around the world.? A new computing platform has been invented. The iPhone moment of AI has started.”?

Do you remember when the iPhone was a new, amazingly complex and out-of-reach technology accessory that suddenly transitioned to a must-have personal device accessible to the masses?? Generative AI is the next iPhone, something once complex and only utilized by technology professionals is now freely accessible to small businesses and large enterprises alike.? Jensen elaborated, “Generative AI has triggered a sense of urgency in enterprises worldwide to develop AI strategies. Startups are racing to build disruptive products and business models, while incumbents are looking to respond.”?? At RAVE, we’ve already started leveraging Generative AI, and look forward to discovering additional powerful ways we can leverage AI to provide value and efficiency internally, and also on behalf of our clients. Related announcements from NVIDIA:?

• NVIDIA DGX Cloud through partnerships with Microsoft Azure, Google GCP, and Oracle OCI will bring NVIDIA DGX AI supercomputers to every company, instantly, from a browser.??
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, OCI, will be the first NVIDIA DGX cloud?

“Now, everyone is a programmer.”?

A cause-and-effect of the above quote and its impact on usability, this new level of writing, coding, editing, and content-creation accessibility will allow ALL of us to optimize new technologies personally and professionally.? At RAVE, integrating and optimizing these new technologies will provide even better experiences for our customers while also providing internal speed, efficiencies, and cost savings.? Related announcements from NVIDIA:??

• NVIDIA AI Foundations – Cloud service for customers needing to build refine and operate custom LLM (Large Language Models) and Generative AI trained with their proprietary data and with their domain-specific tasks.? The three platforms include NeMo (Text), Picasso (Image), and BioNeMo (Medical).?
• NVIDIA’s One Architecture platform - Offers both acceleration and elasticity because no one accelerator can optimally process the massive diversity of algorithms, models, data types, and sizes.? NVIDIA’s One Architecture platform consists of four configurations optimized for a class of workloads:? L4 Server (AI Video and Google GCP), L40 Server (Omniverse and Generative AI programming), PCIE H100 NVL (Chat GPT), and Grace Hopper (AI Database Engine)?

“The world’s largest industries make physical things, but they want to build them digitally.? Omniverse is a platform for industrial digitalization that bridges digital and physical.”?

Jensen shared multiple examples of digitalization boosting efficiency and speed and saving money.? With headquarters in the heart of the Motor City, RAVE is particularly passionate about leveraging generative AI within the automotive industry.?? Jensen shared examples of General Motors utilizing digital twins and virtual design and assembly, Mercedes and Jaguar Land Rover vehicles leveraging driving simulations, and Toyota creating digital twin factories to build, optimize, and plan assembly lines. Not only is BMW using Omniverse to train factory robots, but they’re also using Omniverse to plan operations across nearly three dozen factories worldwide.? They are building a new EV factory, completely in Omniverse, two years before the physical plant opens. Dr. Milan Nedeljkovic from BMW Group joined Jensen on stage to officially open their first entirely virtual factory, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse.? Jensen shared that, “By 2030 auto manufacturer will build 300 factories to make 200 million electric vehicles.” This indicates the doors of opportunity are still wide-open in the Motor City and for industries everywhere to leverage Generative AI to create content, improve efficiencies, and save money.??

RAVE's RenderBEAST (TM) is the perfect workstation for NVIDIA's Omniverse due to its powerful and customized hardware components and seamless integration with Omniverse. The workstation's Intel Xeon processors and NVIDIA RTX GPUs can easily handle even the most intensive rendering tasks and accelerate real-time ray tracing and AI-enhanced rendering, essential features of Omniverse. RenderBEAST's flexible configuration options make it an ideal choice for a wide range of users and applications, from visual effects artists to game developers. Overall, RenderBEAST is a top-of-the-line workstation that is perfectly suited for anyone looking to work with advanced virtual environments.?

“Without Moore’s Law, as computing surges, data center power is skyrocketing and companies struggle to achieve Net Zero.? The impressive capabilities of Generative AI created a sense of urgency for companies to reimagine their products and business models.? Industrial companies are racing to digitalize and reinvent into software-driven tech companies to be the disruptor and not the disrupted.” – Jensen Huang, GTC 2023 Keynote??

It’s clear to us that there’s room for improvement and optimization in every industry.? We’re moving forward with our integrations, and we’re here to help you with yours.? Whether it’s a dedicated Generative AI server, digging into Omniverse and digital twins, RAVE can help you optimize your compute to give you the power you need to disrupt your industry.?
